One True Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I could say that I'm alright
I think that's what you want to hear
But everytime I step out of this door
I just want to reappear
Somewhere else
A place I made up in my head
Before this world
Started taking pieces away
Taking pieces away
Just one breath that I can breathe
Just one honest untouched scene
Just one taste of rust to show the bars that cage are bending
Just one melody that I can really sing
After all you've taken, can you give me this
One true thing
I can sway my feelings for
Yet another wasted day
Never once will I be broken
I will lock my heart away
Somewhere else
A key I hid inside my head
Before this world
Started making its escape
I'm planning my escape
Just one breath that I can breathe
Just one honest untouched scene
Just one taste of rust to show the bars that cage are bending
Just one melody that I can really sing
After all you've taken, can you give me this
One true thing
3AM, I wake myself
From what I hope is a dream
Too many times I've been left with nothing
I'm down to one
Just one breath that I can breathe
Just one honest untouched scene
Just one taste of rust to show the bars that cage are bending
Just one melody that I can really sing
After all you've taken, can you give me this
One true thing
I'm down to one
I'm down to one
